JAJSG65B September 2018 – December 2018 ADS1278-SP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The digital filter configuration is the same in High-Speed, Low-Power, and Low-Speed modes with the oversampling ratio set to 64. Figure 54 shows the frequency response in High-Speed, Low-Power, and Low-Speed modes normalized to fDATA. Figure 55 shows the passband ripple. The transition from passband to stop band is shown in Figure 56. The overall frequency response repeats at 64x multiples of the modulator frequency fMOD, as shown in Figure 57.
These image frequencies, if present in the signal and not externally filtered, will fold back (or alias) into the passband, causing errors. The stop band of the ADS1278-SP provides 100-dB attenuation of frequencies that begin just beyond the passband and continue out to fMOD. Placing an anti-aliasing, low-pass filter in front of the ADS1278-SP inputs is recommended to limit possible high-amplitude, out-of-band signals and noise. Often, a simple RC filter is sufficient. Table 2 lists the image rejection versus external filter order.
